You don't start a new business line based on "Why not?"
You start it on "Why?"
What does this give them that say setting up an "Approved by Amazon" scheme for tablets and having their software installed would?
Exclusive deals for eBooks increases the value of their content platform.
Are they going to sign app developers to exclusive deals for apps to only run on the Amazon android platform?
What stops them getting in the same situation Sony/Kobo/... are in now, where they can't just improve their own situation without also improving that of their competitors?
